The Family Status Of Chinese Women - The Past And The Present, Shao Jirong

Student Affairs Digital Community Development

For centuries, Chinese women enjoyed no freedom in marriage but had to obey the dictates of their parents and heed the words of matchmakers (arranged marriage). Once she got married, she could not divorce her husband, but only be divorced by him. Besides, she was not allowed to remarry if her husband died. Traditionally, a married woman is expected to live with her husband’s family. When the husband has to live away from his family, however, she has to stay with her in-laws and take care of them. Men thus suffer chronic separation from their wives, such as …

Trading In One Set Of Keys For Another: Suggestions For Success Self-Management Of Senior Academic Job Changes And Transitions, Jeffrey D. Senese Ph.D.

Administration Publications and Research

This essay discusses the transition process for academic vice presidents from the perspective of an academic vice president. Given that many institutions do not adequately plan for the exit and entry of academic vice presidents, and the lack of literature on this topic, as well as the importance of this position at many institutions, this essay is offered as a beginning for further study.

The movement of academic administrators from one institution to another is done with perhaps more regularity today than in past years and decades. It has been argued that while many academic vice presidents spend most of …

Student Outcomes And Honors Programs: A Longitudinal Study Of 172 Honors Students 2000-2004, Frank Shushok Jr.

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Since this edition of the JNCHC is dedicated to honors administration, it seems appropriate to offer a few introductory remarks about the usefulness of this study. College and university administrators participating in the accreditation process are well aware that assessing student learning is not the passing fad that some had suspected it might be. In the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, for example, administrators are familiar with Core Requirement 2.1—the institution engages in ongoing, integrated, and institution- wide planning and evaluation processes that incorporate systematic review of programs and services (Handbook for reaffirmation of accreditation, 2004). All accreditation bodies …

Major Forerunners To Honors Education At The Collegiate Level, Anne Rinn

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

In this paper, the author explores the major forerunners of the modern-day honors program as well as the purposes behind the formation of honors programs in the United States. Although given much attention in the 1920s with the work of Frank Aydelotte and again in the 1950s and 1960s with the work of Joseph Cohen, university honors programs and colleges have grown so rapidly over the past few decades that we sometimes forget our origins. By examining the foundations of honors programs, this history allows researchers and administrators to better understand modern honors programs in light of the past.

Leadership In Honors: What Is The Right Stuff?, George Mariz

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

It may come as disappointing news, but as far as honors administrators go the “right stuff” in many ways resembles sound medical practice: there are seldom cases of heroic intervention; good protocols and practices are better formulas for success than sheer talent or the bold stroke; and so good preparation counts for more than genius. A comprehensive essay on an honors administrator’s role in academic leadership, curriculum design, administrative organization and reportage, and other honors desiderata would make a hefty book, and so these brief remarks will address specific but important aspects of administration, faculty recruitment, and student advising.
